Partial regularity for singular solutions to the Monge-Ampere equation

Analysis of PDEs 2013-08-02 v3

Abstract

We prove that solutions to the Monge-Ampere inequality detD2u1\det D^2u \geq 1 in Rn\mathbb{R}^n are strictly convex away from a singular set of Hausdorff n1n-1 dimensional measure zero. Furthermore, we show this is optimal by constructing solutions to detD2u=1\det D^2u = 1 with singular set of Hausdorff dimension as close as we like to n1n-1. As a consequence we obtain W2,1W^{2,1} regularity for the Monge-Ampere equation with bounded right hand side and unique continuation for the Monge-Ampere equation with sufficiently regular right hand side.
